Thirty plus Four

Thirty four, that's how many day's it's been since my last post. You're probably wondering what I've been up to, please allow me to bring you up to speed.

The Lovebirds

My best friend is officially a married woman. I cried like the sweetest most beautiful baby you ever did see. I caught the bouquet. Caught is an understatement it was more like I was transported to a Powder Puff football game and it was either make a touchdown or lose the game at least that's sort of how it was relayed to me. From my perspective it was like an out of body experience. I saw the bouquet go up in the air and when I looked down there it was in my hands. Speaking of hands I actually ripped the bouquet out of someone else's. For the record I had no idea I had that in me. You know what that means, right? I'm next, baby! Actually, I'm not. More than likely it will be my younger sister. She's got the boyfriend. The boyfriend who at the end of the year she'll be living with. Me, well I've got a wedding board on Pinterest.

Third Times the Charm

It's my third try on OKCupid & even though I went into with some doubt but I put it to the side, picked out a few pictures and began the not so easy task of describing myself in a way that piques interest & is a true representation of who I am. It's challenging but definitely doable. I think it comes down to balance and that part seems to be something that some people miss, it's unfortunate but if there really is someone for everyone then even the men who can't spell, use heavy sexual overtones & insist on having a women in their profile picture will one day find love, it will not be with me however. So far I've been on one nothing to write home about date. There was coffee, conversation & absolutely positively no chance of a second encounter. He wasn't what I'd classify as my type but I think online dating gives up the chance to try out men that we otherwise wouldn't. I mean if I hadn't I wouldn't be able to tell you that he if he wasn't gay he could very well be bi-sexual. Dud dates such as this are a necessary evil and should be looked at as a blessing in disguise they serve as an opportunity to fine tune our social graces.

The Daily Grind

There's either something to do or something to be done & this is how it always going to be. I need to make writing a priority I'm just not exactly sure how to do that. When I find myself with free time I do one of two things, take a nap or sit in front of the tv with a glass of wine or vodka tonic. I'm currently on a cooking show kick with Hell's Kitchen out of the way I'm on to Master Chef, I don't know what it is about Gordon Ramsey but the man just kind of does it for me at the moment. Not to mention on Master Chef there are two other chefs serving as judges alongside each bringing their own expertise and personalities to the table. One being Graham Elliot & Joe Bastianich, the latter being a bit of a hard ass but there is just something about his stoic-ness that I find kind of attractive. All that said I'm going to attempt to put myself on something that resembles a schedule.

I hope you missed me but I'm back & not to toot my own horn or anything but there's some good shit on the horizon *toot toot*


XO, Miss BB

  1. I've missed you, welcome back!
    I'm also trying out OKCupid, but I think the price tag might be reflective of the quality of the guys on the site...

    1. Thanks Kat! I really feel like it's a roll of the dice. Actually it's probably more duds than potential but why not fine tune your skills. Like how many ways can I say thanks, but no thanks. Oh, when all I else fails I recommend laughing and a glass of wine never hurt anybody!

  3. I missed you as well, BB! As someone who's done OKC, I decided to try Match.com. Ugh. I would love to do a guest post on it. Please keep us up-to-date on your stories! You are the Carrie Bradshaw of blogging. ; )

  4. BB!!!! Read your article on SW. That coffee shop guy is also a bit selfish to make you travel 40mins in bad weather when he lives a spit ball away. I would have been annoyed. As for OKC, the trouble is noone wants to communicate with someone who lives far away and the guys in my area are nightmares. I live in hope but hope is quickly dying. lol

    1. Thanks for the SW support! They're like not so hidden gems that I wish more people read. Awful, but makes for a good story. I love a good story. Don't let the hope die!
